Extract

The so-called AF + BΦ theorem of Max Noether refers to a whole collection of results. In most of these, the object is to determine conditions under which a form H(x, y, z) will belong to the ideal generated by two given forms F(x, y, z) and Φ(x, y, z). This problem is of obvious importance in the theory of plane curves, and therefore it is customary to state the conditions in geometric language. To give one example, a particularly important form of the theorem may be stated as follows.*
